Summary

Using the Notifications Rails Engine, we are able to add notifications to our applications based on certain events. The engine provides the schema and necessary controls and associations to seamlessly integrate into your app.

I've had a chance to look at this gem. Its documentation is pretty extensive which is always nice to see. I'll consider covering this gem in the future. One thing that I highly dislike about this gem is that it seems a lot more invasive in the models. It also has a lot of added complexity based on the documentation and I'm not convinced that it's necessary to accomplish what they're doing. Overall the gem does look pretty cool and for a large complex app, this may be a good fit.
